We love a good restaurant name and Four Hundred Rabbits in Nunhead (they have one in Crystal Palace too) certainly ticked that box. It was by pure coincidence that we visited on Easter… Continue reading
Pizza is one our favourite foods by far; it’s such a classic takeaway. So when Papa John’s contacted us to review their new Papa’s Deep Crust we couldn’t say no! Upon opening the… Continue reading
Le Coq in Islington is a rare gem – and when we say that, we mean that wholeheartedly, it’s especially lovely to visit at this time of year. We first discovered them a… Continue reading
‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Cheesemas’ or so it says on my place mat at the launch of Byron Hamburger‘s new seasonal specials. And as I’m in the mood for borrowing… Continue reading
You know the scenario, one of you wants a big juicy burger and the other rotisserie chicken and a salad. So what’s the solution? Well I think we have it, Dirty Burger &… Continue reading
Easy like Sunday morning, as Mr Richie sang. Although there was nothing easy about this particular Sunday morning, apart from the prospect of an early lunch at Sugar Dumplin. Firstly there were a… Continue reading
Poor Fred Smith – Byron’s head chef, he has to travel the world in search of inspiration for new specials, must be horrendous for him. His most recent trip to Japan has resulted… Continue reading

Saff and I are fairly uncomplicated creatures. All we really ask for is great food (hence this blog), occasional foreign sun on our faces and to have as much fun as humanly possible.… Continue reading
Any regular readers will know, we live in a part of Kent that means weekend dining choices are pretty non-existent (unless we go to Bluewater, our town doesn’t even have a Pizza Express… Continue reading
We’ve been to Jackson + Rye on Wardour Street numerous times. The first, back in December 2013 when they first opened to sample their brunch menu. More recently was to pop in for a nightcap when… Continue reading
My first experience of ceviche was only this summer at Tierra peru, a stall at the Campo Viejo Streets of Spain festival and I loved it! Although ceviche has a Spanish heritage, it’s… Continue reading

It’s been roughly 655 days since our first visit to the original Big Easy on the King’s Road. On that occasion we were blown away by the whole experience, the atmosphere, the food,… Continue reading
I was slightly sad to see the back of Satsuma – the Japanese restaurant on Wardour Street full of orange futuristic pod-like booths. Not many places have been around for as long as… Continue reading
Wong Kei, possibly one of the most amusing names for a restaurant ever. As soon as I mentioned we were going there I was inundated with stories of friends’ visits – looks like Wong… Continue reading
